2023 Review
REVIEW: Apocalypse Clown (2023, dir. George Kane)
Apocalypse Clown is a largely obnoxious comedic take on the end of the world, which isn’t without its strengths but ultimately lacks the laughs and smarts to avoid falling face-first into a custard pie.
REVIEW: Mercy Falls (2023, dir. Ryan Hendrick)
Mercy Falls is a wildly generic wood-set slasher that follows the template so closely, complete with stock characters who do endlessly dumb things, that it is hardly even worth remembering afterwards, aside from some decent cinematography and a couple of fine performances.
REVIEW: Sound of Freedom (2023, dir. Alejandro Monteverde)
Sound of Freedom conveys a powerful message with a mixed execution, deploying heavily manipulative tactics and sluggish editing alongside some strong cinematography and a well-intentioned but conventional script to leave it as a thriller that’s simply okay.
REVIEW: The Equalizer 3 (2023, dir. Antoine Fuqua)
The Equalizer 3 is an uneven final entry in the vigilante trilogy that suffers from a slow and sleepy pace that makes most of the action feel unengaging or subdued to a fault, but it is made less mundane by an ever-charismatic lead turn by Denzel Washington, and his charming on-screen chemistry with Dakota Fanning.

REVIEW: Vacation Friends 2 (2023, dir. Clay Tarver)
Vacation Friends 2 is an awful comedy sequel that contains no laughs, no heart, no charm (even from its main cast, who can’t replicate their easy chemistry from the previous film), and no reason for it to exist other than to give its filmmakers an excuse to go on a luxurious holiday while putting zero effort into making a product with substance.
